LEARNING HOW TO SWIM IN THE OCEAN OF ONENESS by Bristena Georgiana Mantu

This
poem was written in June 2015 after my encounter with one
of my twin flames...

To those unfamiliar with this concept, a
twin flame connection suggests an astrological polar opposite connection with
someone whose soul frequency and life purpose matches yours and who evinces
astoundingly similar and complementary character traits. A twin flame dynamic
involves mirroring each other and in this process painful unconscious aspects
of our psyche come to the surface to be healed and reintegrated. This
connection also catalyses a profound spiritual awakening to the non-dualistic
nature of reality. Oneness is a concept evocative of the interconnected web of
intelligent and creative energy which permeates everything in existence –
otherwise known as God, Source, Great Spirit etc.

The poem "Learning How to Swim in the
Ocean of Oneness" announces my struggles and challenges,
breakthroughs and revelations and my expansion of consciousness experienced as
a result of the twin flame reunion. It was a time of profound inner shifts.
Limiting ego-constructs of self entered the process of decomposition and an
internal alchemy started taking place. From selfishness to service, from
ignorance to knowledge, from addictive compulsive behaviors to the cultivation
of self-love, from victim consciousness to self-empowerment and responsibility,
from left-brain rational authoritarian control to a more fluid, organic,
expansive and heart-centred view over self and reality.Since the writing of this poem, I havestepped more fully into my life purpose: that of aligning myself with my heart's truth, and universal
truths, and helping others onsimilar journeys. I accomplish my mission with the aid of my energy therapies, teachings and writings.

Learning How to Swim in the Ocean of
Oneness

by Bristena Georgiana Mantu

One day I
found myself

On the verge
of an idea

I was toying
with tentatively

For what
seems now like eternity

Or a
fleeting second? Ah, the paradox of time.

It was a big
idea, all-encompassing

Infinite in
its finitude, finite in its infinity…

Its seed
planted in the fertile soil of my soul

Consciously
not so long ago,

Unconsciously
since the dawn of ages…

It was the
idea of Oneness.

Another day
the seed cracked wide open

As its life
spark birthed itself into manifestation.

So on the
verge of this idea

the universe
gave me a little push

to take the
deep plunge within…

The universe
commanded: here you go

learn how to
swim in the infinite

oneness
waters of cosmic intelligence,

there’s no
way back now –

Learn how to
swim or die trying.

Take the
leap of faith

it’s what
you’ve always wanted

and more
than you’ve ever dared to hope

Because the
magnitude of infinity cannot be comprehended

By the
narcissistic constraints of the mind.

And then the
idea manifested into action

At first all
doubts, fears and terror rose up

To the
surface in order to be healed.

Isn’t the
surface of the water

Yet another
illusion of separation?

It’s right
to say then that it’s only the fear

That causes
the separation from the One.

I started
gasping for the air of previous comfort

Clinging to
pre-established notions of security

As that was
all I knew before: the prison of the mind.

The deep
waters were so dangerous to my little ego

Desperately
wishing for the illusory pillar of control

Which during
any storm could be easily destroyed.

So I let go.
I released attachment to the fictitious control

Still
panting, still catching my breath,

I
surrendered to the sweet waters

of the ocean
of Unity Consciousness.

I allowed
myself to be carried away

By the
caring embrace of the ocean

I released
my anxiety, my past hurts

And as I’m
floating and merging with the waters

All scars
are licked by the healing tongue

Of ancient infinite
wisdom, in blissful revelation of the One.

What is
trust? It is the safest vehicle in which

I transport
myself through the infinite waters

Of the
divine Mind,

In sacred
vow on the Altar of the Eternal Now.

Dive deep…and
you’ll see

All the
fears dissolve, all doubts disappear

Faith is now
my guiding star

Surrender is
my sweetest pleasure

Expansion is
my driving force.

It’s time to
grow now, sweet child of mine

Whispered
the Infinite Consciousness

Learn to
ride the waves of life

It’s only
when you fully surrender

That you
will experience the One and All.

From idea
into action -

Learning how
to swim in theInfinite
waters of the Ocean of Oneness.

Bristena
Georgiana Mantuhas had a deep calling for philosophical thought and writing
since early childhood. Born in Romania 21 years ago, shemoved to London in 2013 and since then
she has been on a fascinating journey of spiritual exploration, personal growth
and transformation. What brought her to the U.K. was the ambition of pursuing a
law career, but after her spiritual awakening she drastically changed her
career path and started building her practice as a transformational therapist.
In the meantime she rediscovered her passion for poetry and uses this venue of
expression as a healing method whenever she finds herself in turbulent
emotional states, deep reflections, heightened states of awareness or spiritual
breakthroughs. At the moment, Bristena is looking to expand her conscious
healing business into the entire virtual world. In her practice as a
transformational therapist she uses powerful energy psychology techniques –
Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting which combine ancient
Eastern wisdom and modern psychology for the purpose of emotional relief,
mental clarity and deep healing of childhood wounds. Bristena strongly believes
in personal transformation as a tool for world transformation – the more we go
within to find our true source of love and divine power, the more we can assist
the planetary evolution during these times of awakening. You can connect with her
via her website here or by joining her Facebook group – Transformational Journey Towards Bliss where she will
be happy to support you on your own transformational process from
low-vibrational dysfunctional beliefs and behavior patterns into a meaningful
and heart-centred existence.

Courage
is not only facing fear, but also looking past fear, to see what lies it tells
and truths it saves... Sometimes
I sit at a computer in trepidation. The house trembles and I wonder what I will
find. Truth
is not a fact or a feeling. It may rest on love’s heart and walk with
integrity. It may stand beyond humanity in ways we can only imagine. Truth can
be solid as earth and fickle as wind. But a wind can know stillness and the
earth can crack wide open. Tonight
I found a stillness in a crack and managed to balance there...

My
Heart Seepsby Edith Lazenby I
cannot hold on And
I cannot let go. I
walk a path I
don’t know. I
feel moonlight But
cannot see Its
orb midst The
cloudy cold. My
hands tremble. My
eyes tear. My
toes wriggle To
grasp earth. I
want to stand Tall
in the light Yet
fear shadows all. Inside
I crumble Under
the weight I
cannot shoulder.

This poem invites you to look upon yourself with loving
kindness… Gazing at your own true reflection,
you will discover that everything you have longed for “out there” is already
within you! I invite you to love your creativity
fiercely. Faithfully plant seeds, allowing under-the-ground dormant seasons,
nurturing your creative garden with love and gratitude. In the fullness of
time, the green growing things thrust forth from the ground. It's a faithful,
trustworthy process. AND it takes time and patience. Blessed is the fruit of
your creative womb! I invite you to trust your vision of the
world and express it. With wonder and delight, paint a picture, create a dance,
write a book, and make up a song. To give expression to your creative impulses
is as natural as your breathing. Create in your own language, imagery, and
movement. Follow no script. Do not be limited by the customary way things have
been expressed. Your creative intuition is original. Gather all of life into your inner

Depression Here goes my vulnerability A heart on a sleeve The typical person who looks at me May not see the same me that I live with daily The mind in the air, swirling with possibility When the darkness rallies/gathers/swirls When I am left to solitude This paper-thin garb unzips Here comes depression No I don’t want to advertise So flash a smile Those who are close get to see Through the veil, it’s really not that thick Circumstances in life like to stab at the rib Stumble, fall behind the door Shut out the world Feelings well and weigh down Strength hidden deep in the core So deep that sometimes it’s forgotten Here comes the darkness My old friend Sweeping through my every move Doubts, fears, un-named masked men Oozing like honey, sticking to everything Patience is required to get on this ride There is a cycle but its pattern is unknown Slowly my gift will unwrap itself Stay on the path Coming back to that which never truly left me Just laid sleeping out of exhaustion from the fight Dormant in winter…
